Only SFTP is the safest FTP-protocol.
FTPS does not have imho the end-to-end encryption, imho I would never use it.
https://www.ssh.com/ssh/sftp/SFTP support this list of operation see link. So not all.
Using WebDAV you get in principle
all the operations you have using the file manager, the one you prefer.
I like that very much as I can do all the operation I'm used to.
Never got a problem since I'm using it since 2011... so 9 years without complications.
I was inspired in those days by a Frenchman:
http://www.bernaerts-nicolas.fr/linux/7 ... bdav-shareThis one is outdated now.
I'm now busy with upgrading our server to Debian 9 or 10 or a Debian-based light version like and Bunsenlabs seems very interesting, and I can use the configuration files of Debian 9/10 directly.
I'm in the test phase in a Virtual Machine. I will publish my final experiences incl the configurations on the relevant site (here or Bunsenlabs) asap.
It has become even simpler to install webdav that my version based on the French one.
Setup up the VM and webdav takes me less than half an hour....
When I'm ready with my comparison of light distros (Debian based), I will choose the best one and install it on my 2 real servers.
If you're interested in this WebDAV setup, please wait a short time... or of course find out your self or use SFTP..
